How to build a private CocoaPod with dependency on specific react-native version?

Question

I'm trying to build a private cocoapod for my Cocoa Touch Framework (swift version 4.0), that has a dependency on React-Native v0.46.4 and Yoga, using this podspec:

react_native_version = '0.46.4'

Pod::Spec.new do |s|
  s.name             = 'MyLibrary'
  s.version          = '0.1.0'

  s.source           = { :git => 'https://github.com/mylibrary.git', :tag => s.version.to_s,
                         :git => 'https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git', :tag => "v#{react_native_version}"
                       }

  s.platform       = :ios, '11.0'
  s.requires_arc   = true

  s.source_files        = 'MyLibrary/Classes/**/*.swift'
  s.resources           = 'MyLibrary/Assets/*.{png,storyboard}'
  s.public_header_files = 'MyLibrary/Classes/**/*.h'

  s.frameworks = 'UIKit', 'ARKit', 'SceneKit', 'SpriteKit'

  s.dependency 'ADAL', '~> 2.2'

  s.dependency 'Yoga', "#{react_native_version}.React"
  s.dependency 'React/Core', react_native_version
  s.dependency 'React/BatchedBridge', react_native_version
  s.dependency 'React/DevSupport', react_native_version
  s.dependency 'React/RCTText', react_native_version
  s.dependency 'React/RCTImage', react_native_version
  s.dependency 'React/RCTLinkingIOS', react_native_version
  s.dependency 'React/RCTSettings', react_native_version
  s.dependency 'React/RCTVibration', react_native_version
  s.dependency 'React/RCTGeolocation', react_native_version
  s.dependency 'React/RCTActionSheet', react_native_version
  s.dependency 'React/RCTAnimation', react_native_version
  s.dependency 'React/RCTNetwork', react_native_version
  s.dependency 'React/RCTWebSocket', react_native_version

End

And I'm unable to pass the linter checks when I run pod lib lint like this:

pod lib lint MyLibrary.podspec --sources=https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git,master

-> MyLibrary (0.1.0)
- WARN  | source: The version should be included in the Git tag.
- ERROR | [iOS] unknown: Encountered an unknown error (An 
 unexpected version directory `Base` was encountered for the 
 `/Users/administrator/.cocoapods/repos/facebook/React` Pod in the 
 `React` > repository.

I've read the documentation on https://guides.cocoapods.org and done lots of browsing but still not sure if this is the right podspec syntax to refer to a specific version of a repository, or if this is even supported or not?

(I'm using CocoaPods 1.3.1 XCode9 and Swift 4.)

The Podfile has the ability to override where to find a dependency. E.g. the git repo/tag. E.g. pod 'React', :git => 'https://github.com/artsy/React.git', :tag => '0.7.0'

The Podspec dicatates what the dependency is. e.g. s.dependency 'React'

Thank you, just as I suspected, what I'm trying to do here is not even supported. But really curious, how does one overcome the problems incurred by the dictated dependency in a Podspec ? And what's the reason behind this different levels of flexibility of declaring dependencies between Podfile and Podspec?

That makes sense. So far this is the only way for make React as a dependency of your own pod work. However, the React pod is deprecated, does that mean it might be removed from the registry at some point? And does this still work at that point?
